How To Enable Spell Checking on Thunderbird Before You Send the Email.

I had a customer call me after setting her up with the Thunderbird Email client and ask me a question I did not know the answer to. She wanted to enable spell check on her Email so that it would go through the whole email and check it for spelling errors after the sent button was pressed.

I was fairly certain this was possible however I was not sure. I quickly found the answer and returned the lady’s phone call and all was well. In case any one is interested in doing this, here are the steps I took to get it enabled.

1. Open up Thunderbird and click on the tools drop down menu.

2. Select options and a new box should open up.

3. Select the composition tab and once that opens, select the spelling tab.

4. You should now see a box where you can enable “check spelling before sending”
